Hours: Contract only
We are looking to add to our existing consultancy services, by providing timetabling consultant expertise to Higher and Further Education institutions. This service will help institutions cope with fluctuations in staffing levels or timetabling demands, that require additional staff with relevant timetabling skills and experience.
By joining Education Space Consultancy as a Timetabling Consultant, we will find the right contract for you at an institution that matches your skills and experience. Any new contract is always discussed in detail with each suitable Timetabling Consultant to ensure that both parties are happy and confident that the contract expectations can be met. Often you will be expected to work onsite within the institution(s) you choose to work with, therefore we also cover the travel, accommodation and subsistence costs associated with each contract.
